    Is Lemmy short for lemmings? Like those little guys that follow each other. The walkers, the diggers and the ones that stopped the others from plunging off the cliff.

        Ah so it is a lemming but a different lemming. I think it might be tongue in cheek though. Haha.

      One of my favourite games. I had it on Commodore 64 first I think. On tape.

        Haha. That tape extension was expensive. We had some formula 1 game and cricket.

        Also I remember skateboarding, PGA golf and the Summer Olympics. ☺

          I broke so many joysticks playing Summer Olympics.

            Haha. If I can remember correctly you had to slam that joystick left and right a million times just make your athlete run fast.

              Yep. Ended up with a crate full of joysticks. Sometimes, if you left them for a while, they’d start working again. Had about 10 in the crate I think, as my older cousin gave me his. There was always one that worked, but it could take a while to find it.
